2. Suspend AB 5 and allow independent truckers to operate in and through California until the supply chain has normalized; 3. Provide flexibility on existing Air Resources and local port drayage truck regulations, and ensure upcoming deadlines on new regulations take into account delays in manufacturing and delivery of new trucks; 4. Suspend local and regional mandates that interfere or limit goods movement, including local prohibitions on unloading goods at stores after hours; and
5. Expedite the California Environmental Quality Act and permitting processes, including conditional use permits, for warehouses, rail line and other critical components of goods movement. What’s next? Unfortunately, this situation remains fluid with no clear end in sight. Based on current projections, we may not see a return to normal until mid-2022, all but guaranteeing tough months ahead for those commodities with peak shipping seasons between September and March. WG continues to track this issue closely, and we encourage you to reach out if your operation is experiencing any supply chain challenges.
